"On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund," read an editor's note published Friday night. "That story did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci."

The finance big wig, who founded the prominent SkyBridge Capital firm, expressed no ill will toward CNN.

Scaramucci, a hedge fund millionaire, was a member of the Trump transition team. Earlier this month Trump chose him to be ambassador to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development — a Paris-based intergovernmental group.

Multiple authorities are investigating whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

President Trump has dismissed the allegations as a "hoax" and has called the investigation a "witch hunt."
